Using Ag-Grid Enterprise license getting a 'ag-grid: Looking for component [agSetColumnFilter] but it wasn't found." error

Question

I've been using Ag-Grid's Enterprise feature "agSetColumnFilter" for months with no problem.

I'm using the following versions:

    "ag-grid": "^17.1.1",
    "ag-grid-enterprise": "^17.1.1",
    "ag-grid-react": "^17.1.0",

After a bit of refactoring, I'm starting to get this error after just clicking on the filter menu:

The refactoring work I did was to iterate over an array and create React-Bootstrap tab components that render the Ag-grid components when clicked. I place the array of tabs in a <div> to be rendered.

For my row data, it's an array like so:

[{
  id: 1,
  keyword: 'tv',
  projects: [{ id: 1, name: 'Project 1' }, {id: 2, name: 'Project 2' }]
},
{
  id: 2,
  keyword: 'sofa',
  projects: [{ id: 3, name: 'Project 3' }]
}]

My column definitions are returned from a function like this: (lookup is a hash where my filter options are stored, I iterate over the values and produce an array of strings to give to filterParams.values:

function createColumnDefs = (lookup) => ([
{
  field: 'projects',
  headerName: 'Projects',
  filter: 'agSetColumnFilter',
  cellRenderer: 'ListRenderer',
  cellRendererParams: {
    accessor: 'name'
   },
   filterParams: {
     values: _.get(lookup, 'projects', []).map(project => project.name),
     debounceMs: 200
  }
},
{
  field: 'keyword',
  headerName: 'Keyword',
  filter: 'agTextColumnFilter',
  sort: 'asc',
  filterParams: {
    debounceMs: 200
  },
  pinned: 'left',
  minWidth: 250
}
]);

Everything works fine including displaying rows, row selection, sorting, text filtering, the infinite scroll. ONLY when I click on the filter hamburger menu in the column header does it give the above error.

This filter has worked in the past and since then I have not altered row data structure or my column definitions or filter options.

Answer 1

I solved this by

• running npm i @ag-grid-enterprise/set-filter,

• importing the module in the component that used the set filter: import { SetFilterModule } from '@ag-grid-enterprise/set-filter';

• adding SetFilterModule to grid modules array:

  gridModules = [ClientSideRowModelModule, RowGroupingModule, MenuModule, SetFilterModule];

• and of course binding gridModules to the grid (which I had from before): <ag-grid-angular... [modules]="gridModules"></ag-grid-angular>

I got this solution from inspecting the code in the first example on https://www.ag-grid.com/javascript-grid-filter-set/

Answer 2

I just ran into the same issue and was able to resolve by removing "filter: true" from my column definitions. I see that you're defining specific types of filters in your definitions, you might try removing it and seeing if ag-grid recognizes the types of filters it needs. If that doesn't work, you might try changing those filters to custom filters instead. Hope that helps!
